Pokémon are conceptualized to occupy the space of critters and pets, see Tajiri's biography and Takeshi Shudo's blog, thus intelligence wouldn't change a thing. The series first and foremost is a fantastical version of a boy and his pet exploring nature, and Pokémon filling the role of a pet is a powerful one hence why the reception to Pokémon is to see them as critters and pets, which GameFreak has openly admitted to. Intelligence wouldn't change anything no more than Courage being able to use a computer since that doesn't change his station.
